Pros: Compactness - 35mm sensor - Zeiss T* lens - Sonnar optical scheme - superb BW

Cons: I think it's perfect as it is

Opinion: I've been using it for a couple of years, and I find it an exquisite machine. For me it is like an analog camera, that is, it does not have all the functions that you would expect to find in a modern camera, but only those essential to photography. It has a very high quality, it is extremely compact, it has a high quality sensor, and the lens that mounts in front is of an absolute goodness, a Zeiss 35mm T* f2 Sonnar scheme, which allows a detachment and a three-dimensional aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It is perfectly usable already at full aperture, and is really bright, as proof of the excellent treatment of the Zeiss that allows you to have a T number iden tico all F. The only flaw is that it does not have the built-in viewfinder, but you can overcome it by using the excellent external EVF that bends at 90 °, very comfortable. The battery life is poor, but even here you can easily remedy by taking other spare ones, so they are tiny. I think it's the ultimate travel camera, and one of my all-time favorites.

Pros: Portability, sensor, lens

Cons: Missing electronic viewfinder

Opinion: I only bought it for a year, but I was amazed by the results. The essential elements are at the top (sensor and lens) everything else passes in second order, although generally respectable as the AF, the yield of the B/N etc. I added the external electronic viewfinder that also gives me the possibility to vary the vision in recovery almost as if I had the basculable LCD. The rendering of colors and in particular the B/N are insurmountable. The only comparable is the leica Q which has different characteristics, but the results are very similar. I note that I have used and used many prestigious machines (leica M9, leica Q, Sony A7r2, Panasonic S1 etc.). Ultimately all that might be missing from the RX1 is the interchangeability of the lenses, but it is justified by the construction tuned sensor-target... like the leica Q or the Fuji X100. In the past, almost all professionals for ceremonies and reports used rolleiflex with a fixed lens!... Greetings Caesar M.

Pros: ergonomics, feeling of solidity, photographic quality, held to high iso, formidable lens, presence of the flash even if "small"

Cons: batteries (little autonomy), absence of the Electronic scope, astronomical price, total absence of firmware updates (always at release 1.0... in 7 years never an update!!!). Display with outdated resolution (although largely sufficient). Track of the busy subjects (it is not the AF its strong point even if it is enough in 99.9% of cases!)

Opinion: Bought several years after its release, I do a review in 2019... 7 years after launch. To put it another way: it was the era of the Panasonic GH3, or the XPro1. It seems like an era has passed! Today, in 2019, I use it (to take photos, for videos there is better if you search species for the 4K that the RX1 does not allow to do) with real joy! It's superb. The chromatic rendering should be treated slightly if you are used to the brighter colors of Fuji but in terms of sharpness, portability, "purity" of the file is still unsurpassed today. Too bad for the monitor not unbreakable and the absence of the electronic sight but are venial sins compared to the yield even to the high iso and the quality of the lens. Autonomy. Well.. A good quality compatible battery costs 20 Euros and weighs nothing!!

Pros: portability, exceptional optical quality and the FF sensor

Cons: fixed screen

Opinion: purchased at an affordable price but above average for a compact, but you know that you pay for and if it is paid off. I use it as an alternative to NIKON D750 especially when I want quality in the mountains and I can not afford (even in the wall) to take all the equipment the reflex. rnper last but not least, I find that the BN is simply amazing

Pros: Image quality, portability, robustness. Lens of high quality, full-frame sensor.

Cons: It is not the lack of viewfinder as many think as a screen swivel (I speak for what you did this compact, the photo of the street)

Opinion: I had the opportunity to buy both the RX1 that RX1r ... seeing some samples and comparative tests I chose the RX1. In my opinion, in fact, the minimum difference in sharpness compared to RX1r is compensated by an image without artifacts, lights / shadows fuller and (again in my opinion) greater dynamic range. A camera that you can not ask or lightning AF Tracking AF infallible because it IS NOT 'BORN TO ONE but a camera for street photography (and also for the black and white I might add!) the quality of the sensor and the lens are terrific, I do not think there is any better at the time when it comes to compact fullframe.rnPer the photo of the street is the best point, you can not find fault with a camera at the top in all ... rnMi like to point out that I never had big problems with focus, is much faster than many professional DSLR in liveview! rnSono super stoked for my purchase !!
